Q: James in New Jersey “I am getting ice on the back panel what can be the problem also the temperature is too low in the refrigerator section – it shows vacuum condenser warning”

A: For some reason the system is designed to show “vacuum condenser” every time you have a problem.

In newer model, you can put the appliance into the computer diagnostic mode and trace the problem. If you get ice on the back panel, in the left corner, behind the vegetable bin, it is usually an indication that you have a leak somewhere in the seal system. Most likely your evaporator is the problem. Call our Liebherr specialties 732-961-6544 and schedule a service call.

Q: Eddie on Park Avenue New Jersey “My subs zero refrigerator is not making ice. What should I do?”

A: In order to make ice you need water and cooling. If you freezer temperature is stable, the problem may be that you are not getting water into the ice maker or the ice maker is not functioning properly. Sometime the problem can be the switch or if something is pushing on the switches (like the ice tray). Make sure you switch on the ice (new model should show the word ice on the LCD display) and clear any trays that are touching the switches. If this does not solve the issue, call for service.

Q: Robert of Park Avenue West “My refrigerator is 14 years old should I repair it or by new one if it is not working properly?”

A: Your refrigerator is a baby in comparison. Most Liebherr refrigerators that we service and repair are over 25 years old. Your Liebherr refrigerator or freezer can be rebuilt or repaired for a fraction of the replacement cost. Almost every part can be replaced, you can have the gasket shelf and the front panel replaced, and an older Liebherr refrigerator will look like new. Most of the mechanical parts can also be replaced. By repairing your existing Liebherr appliance you save money and you do not have the inconvenience of the replacement disrupting your life. You can keep your existing Liebherr for decades with proper service and maintenance.
